: How do you think about this, des?  I don't want to talk about xdm/pam
: breakage or something like that; I want to talk about (backward

Timing Solutions, my employer, has several systems that boot into X11
w/o xdm, but instead by using startx as non-root user.  It would be
desriable for that functionality to remain as we move forward versions
of X11 that are in our products.
